Delhi has recorded 1,349 confirmed H1N1 cases this year, a six-fold jump from 229 in the same period last year, Hindustan Times reports. Hospitals say patients with cough, cold and high fever are rising, with doctors seeing 7-10 such cases daily in OPD. The government says wards are ready, and most patients recover in 3-5 days. Vulnerable groups, elderly and those with diabetes or kidney disease, are at higher risk. Symptoms come on suddenly with high fever, body aches and dry cough, distinct from the gradual onset of a common cold.
